Ingredients

Scale

Muffin Batter

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups pitted cherries (fresh or frozen)

Streusel Topping

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  4. Mix Batter: Carefully fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Then, fold in the pitted cherries to distribute evenly without overmixing.
  5. Prepare Streusel Topping: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, and ground cinnamon. Cut in the softened butter using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Evenly sprinkle the streusel topping over each muffin.
  7. Bake Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool Muffins: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they set perfectly.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen cherries as per availability; if using frozen, do not thaw to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
  • Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the muffins tender.
  • The streusel topping adds a delightful crunch and can be customized with nuts if desired.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
